Superantispyware - still the 'mutts nutts' ?
Over the last 18 months or so I have come to this site on about three occasions with virus type problems. Each time - the issue was expertly and quickly resolved by the experts! Thank you for that. Also, in addition to the HJT bit I was told to download and run Superantispyware. I still use the home addition now. My questions -

1. Is this still the 'mutts nuts' and the one to use?

2. Is it worth upgrading to the full version ( apart from the obvious benefit of real time etc. )?

3. Do I gain any additional benefit running Spyware terminator as well ( which also seems popular but which keeps throwing up 'allow this' type messages with annoying regularity?

Keep up the good work guys!!!

superantispyware is still a great anti-spyware here's a Comparison of the free and paid if you haven't already seen it http://www.superantispyware.com/supe...freevspro.html

spyware terminator is a good program,
in spyware terminator do you have the hips feature turned on? that could be why you're getting a lot of pop ups asking allow or deny.

1. As the primary, yes.

2. Not really, the shield isn't the best - to put it that way.

3. Yes you do. It is allways recommended to run more than one anti-spyware, becasue they pick up different things.
